A Brexiteer who was forced to wait in an immigration queue at an EU airport in Amsterdam has complained that "this isn’t the Brexit I voted for”.

Colin Browning, who described himself as one of the 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit, said he was forced to wait for nearly an hour at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before his passport was checked.

“Absolutely disgusting service at Schiphol airport. 55 minutes we have been stood in the immigration queue. This isn’t the Brexit I voted for,” he wrote on Twitter.

When another user commented on Mr Browning’s post saying he “got what [he] voted for”, the Brexit supporter replied: “I didn’t vote to stand in a queue for over an hour why [sic] some jobsworth checks our passports.

The EU taking back control, eh?This is exactly what the goon in question (in common with the rest of us) can expect as the norm from now on. Actually, 55 minutes is probably going to be pretty good.
It does rather look, though, as if this contemptible piece of cr*p voted to only end FoM one way.

If anyone is interested Schiphol doesn't need to be doing this now. They are just rolling out the rules early that will have to be applied EU wide from next year. Its a taste of things to come. I'm very happy to see brexiteers choking on it.

I've said before that it appears Leave voters always assumed that Brexit would impact negatively on other people but they would be somehow be completely immune from the bad stuff they were unleashing on the UK.

Yup. Unlike certain other groups of people I could mention, Schiphol are planning ahead.

Let's be clear about this - it's bloody immigrants and foreigners they want inconveniencing, not expats and Brits.

Brilliant weekend celebrating Brexit. Not been on here much. Sank a few yesterday down the local after an enthralling match down the King Power. Where are all the remoaning cyclists who were laughing at me months ago. He who laughs last laughs the longest.

Don't they know who we are?????????

Yes indeed, but I suspect they don't even care about the other Brits, just as long as they aren't impacted. A remarkable number of the individuals we see interviewed in the vox pops always seem to come across as selfish gits.

There seems to be a genuine held view that nothing will change, after all, as we get no benefit from being in the EU, we can't lose out by leaving.

They get angry if people point out that UK citizens will be like Canadians, who can't live or work in the EU without work permits or visas. Such talk is "scaremongering" and "let's see what happens".

The UK government it seems can impose a points system on EU immigrants but, the bloody EU wouldn't dare do that to British expats.

If you want a laugh have a look at Citizens Advice Bureau Spain on Facebook to see the level of ignorance on display.
